The Party's absolute leadership over the army is the essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics, an important political advantage for the Party and the country, and the foundation of the people's army and the soul of a strong army.
No matter how the times develop or the situation changes, our army will always be the Party's army and the people's army.
The whole army must strengthen political awareness, overall situation awareness, core awareness, and alignment awareness, resolutely safeguard the authority of the Party Central Committee, resolutely implement the fundamental principles and systems of the Party's absolute leadership over the military, and resolutely obey the command of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission.
On this important issue of principle, one must be very clear-headed, very clear in attitude, and very firm in action, without any wavering, any hesitation, or any ambiguity.

The most fundamental reason why our army has been able to overcome all kinds of difficulties and hardships and continue to move from victory to victory is to unswervingly listen to the party and follow the party.
This is the soul and lifeblood of our army, which can never be changed or lost.
The primary task of party building in the army is to ensure the party's absolute leadership over the army, which is also the fundamental requirement for party building in the army.

We must always put ideological and political construction in the first place in all aspects of military construction, so that the Party's absolute leadership over the military is deeply rooted in the thinking of officers and soldiers, and ensure that the entire army resolutely obeys the command of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission at all times and under any circumstances.
